Using the zgetdump tool to copy the dump
Use the zgetdump tool to copy the dump file from the tape to a file system.
Before you begin
The tape must be in the correct position.
About this task
By default, the zgetdump tool takes the dump device as input and writes its contents to standard output. To write the memory dump to a file system, you must redirect the output to a file.
The example assumes that the dump is on tape device /dev/ntibm0.Procedure
Copy the dump from tape to a file named dump_file in
the file system:
# zgetdump /dev/ntibm0 > dump_file
